    The Sedona WomenSedona News – Women fought in the Revolutionary War disguised as men and spent years in many wars behind the battlefield as support and spies. But in 1918 Loretta Walsh enlisted in the Navy becoming the first officially sanctioned soldier. Fast forward to today and we see a diverse military with women not only in combat but serving as generals. Three local brave women vets will tell their stories at The Sedona Women’s (“TSW”) November 9, 2022 program at the Creative Life Center.  

    TSW will welcome veteran Jennifer Brehler, a former Intelligence Analyst in the U.S. Army serving during Desert Storm and under the NATO Operation Joint Endeavor in the Balkan Peninsula. She was the first woman to graduate from the U.S. Army Air Assault School in Germany. Jennifer currently leads the Humane Society of Sedona after her role as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the San Diego Humane Society where she was responsible for more than 50,000 animals annually. 

    Speaker Michele Zahner served 23 years in US Army’s Intelligence Branch. After retiring, Michele joined the Human Support and Inspector General Office of Defense Intelligence Agency. While in the US Army, Michele served in Germany, Middle East, and Africa and was the first female US Army attached to Mozambique during the 2000 Operation Atlas Response. She also served in the Gulf War (1990), Operation Enduring Freedom (2001) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003). She is married to a 3-star Army Lieutenant General. Michele now volunteers with many nonprofits in Sedona, including Sedona Heritage, Friends of the Forest, Sedona Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul and Green Bag. 

    Camilla Ross served her country in both the Navy and Army, knowing full well that the problems we continue to face are the same problems we have faced for hundreds of years. She served in the Naval Damage Control Training Center during the Gulf War (1990). Camilla is currently an award-winning producer and actor and President of the Emerson Theater Collaborative, as well as Executive Director of the Arts Academy of Sedona. From a producer’s and performer’s perspective, Camilla wants to change the world by telling the real story. She is married to a retired naval commander and is currently a member of SAVCO, a Sedona veterans’ nonprofit organization and an Elks Lodge member. Hear her tell her own story about her military experience at this program.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
